Having Errors While Trying to Open a SQLite3 Database - c++

Question

I'm working in Visual Studio Community 2017, and what I'm trying to do is open and read the information of a database in C++.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
using std::string;
#include <sstream>
using std::stringstream;
#include "C:\Users\santiago.corso\Desktop\sqlite-amalgamation-3240000 (1)\sqlite-amalgamation-3240000\sqlite3.h"
bool find_employee(int _id)
{
bool found = false;
sqlite3* db;
sqlite3_stmt* stmt;
stringstream ss;
// create sql statement string
// if _id is not 0, search for id, otherwise print all IDs
if (_id) { ss << "select * from employees where id = " << _id << ";"; }
else { ss << "select * from employees;"; }
string sql(ss.str());
//the resulting sql statement
printf("sql: %s\n", sql.c_str());
//get link to database object
if (sqlite3_open("C:\ProgramData\PROISER\ISASPSUS\datastore\dsfile.db", &db) != SQLITE_OK) {
printf("ERROR: can't open database: %s\n", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
sqlite3_close(db);
return found;
}
// compile sql statement to binary
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, sql.c_str(), -1, &stmt, NULL) != SQLITE_OK) {
printf("ERROR: while compiling sql: %s\n", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
sqlite3_close(db);
sqlite3_finalize(stmt);
return found;
}
// execute sql statement, and while there are rows returned, print ID
int ret_code = 0;
while ((ret_code = sqlite3_step(stmt)) == SQLITE_ROW) {
printf("TEST: ID = %d\n", sqlite3_column_int(stmt, 0));
found = true;
}
if (ret_code != SQLITE_DONE) {
//this error handling could be done better, but it works
printf("ERROR: while performing sql: %s\n", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
printf("ret_code = %d\n", ret_code);
}
printf("entry %s\n", found ? "found" : "not found");
//release resources
sqlite3_finalize(stmt);
sqlite3_close(db);
return found;
}
The errors that are being returned are from the category Compiler Error C4129.
I cant reach a solution. If you could help me I would appreciate it.

Answer 1

I could correct above mistake by puting "\\" in all the parts of the path in sqlite3_open. Beside that, another error poped up about a entry point that must be defined, refering to
if (sqlite3_open("C:\ProgramData\PROISER\ISASPSUS\datastore\dsfile.db", &db) != SQLITE_OK) {
printf("ERROR: can't open database: %s\n", sqlite3_errmsg(db));
sqlite3_close(db);
return found;`
Also what i want to know is if with this piece of code is enough for opening and reading the database. Im starting with sqlite3 and what i want to do next is exporting its content to an excel file.
Someone recommend me using the exact app for the cause that is native to sqlite3 and is like a cmd.However, i would rather build a script for this purpose instead of using a cmd.
